Enjoy a dog day afternoon celebration

A Dogs Day celebration in Ferndown will not only praise our pooches, but launch a new canine foodbank for our furry friends.

The Heathland House care home will be the venue for a Celebration of Dogs Day tomorrow, Saturday, July 1, featuring stalls, a fun dog show, as well a dog agility demonstration by Isabela Cox, one of the Heathland care team. Isabella is also part of the GB Dog agility team and a Crufts finalist. The community is being welcomed to the grounds of the care home on the day, which will coincide with the launch of Dorset Dogs Foodbank, in Ferndown, with funds being raised for the cause on the day.

Debbie Holmes, home admissions adviser at Heathland House, said: “We hope this will be a wonderful event for our residents, staff and the wider community.”

Animals Needing Homes

*Help with veterinary fees may be available when using our vets

THE CHARITY OFFERS SUPPORT AND ADVICE TO ALL AND WITH SOME OF THE DOGS HELP WITH VETERINARY TREATMENT TOO. IF YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A DOG AT THE MOMENT, PERHAPS YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS AND WHO COULD OFFER A GOOD HOME? IF SO PLEASE GIVE THEM THIS LIST. ALL OUR DOGS ARE FULLY VACCINATED, MICROCHIPPED AND NEUTERED (IF OLD ENOUGH).

LILLY (n) 6yr old small Rottweiler Cross. Lilly is a delightfully friendly dog - she has never been difficult with any of the staff or volunteers at the sanctuary and even likes the vet. She can however be stubborn and sometimes needs to be coaxed into the right action. And she needs a home where she won’t be left as she gets upset. We do hope that there is the right person out there for her who will be patient and understanding and take advice if necessary.

BUDDY (n) 2 yr old Lurcher. Buddy can be nervous of people to start with but is coming on well (we think he may have been hit). He loves a one to one when he is very affectionate. Buddy seems very scared around other dogs and he needs input and socialising. Buddy has the capacity to be a loyal and loving friend.

RICO (n) 1yr old large cross. Friendly, sociable boy who gets on with other dogs but still has to learn how to behave around them. As a youngster he will benefit from further training and socialisation.

*HOOBEE & PIP (n) 11 & 13yr old male Podenco crosses. Two delightful dogs who are very affectionate with people and not demanding in any way. They are looking for a retirement home together and although like their walks, they spend a lot of time on their settee. Pip doesn’t require as much exercise as Hoobee. Can you offer a loving home to our charity’s two very special dogs?

DUKE (n) 3yr old Mastiff x Boxer. Duke is a large very friendly boy. He came from a pound so there is no background information available on him but it is evident that he has had a home life. Duke is very clean, will sit, give a paw and very gentle when taking treats. He has been no problem with the other dogs.
